Maybe you could help me with my question. I recently got hired for a job and had to undergo cotinine testing, however because I drank a lot of water, the lab requested a second test due to dilution. Before my first testing, I had been smoke free for 3 days. I took the test, then ignorantly lit a cigarette, it tasted awful.. I probably took 2 or 3 puffs off of it before throwing it out. I got a call 2 days later to come back in for a second urine test. So, at the time of my 2nd urine test, I had been almost 100% smoke free for 6 days, minus the 2 or 3 puffs. Is it possible that my urine will test positive for cotinine?View Thread
